There
are approximately 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United
States. This staggering statistic, rarely mentioned by the media, was
revealed in a study
by Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute in Atlanta,
Georgia. "It is clear," she says, "that the U.S. public faces a dangerous
threat from sex predators who cross the U.S. borders illegally." What's
more, she adds, "Then they gradually commit worse crimes and are continually
released back into society or deported. Those who were deported simply
returned illegally again."

If ever
there was an argument for building a border fence, this is it. But other
than two stories on WorldNetDaily, generated by an appearance on CNN,
we haven't found any coverage of these extraordinary statistics.

Yet,
as reported by Wes Vernon in a new AIM Report, the Bush Administration
is embarked on a controversial and secretive plan to effectively erase
U.S. borders and establish a North American Union to facilitate the flow
of people and goods from Mexico into the U.S.

The
study investigated 1,500 cases of "serial rapes, serial murders, sexual
homicides, and child molestations committed by illegal immigrants" between
January, 1999 and April, 2006. Of the 1,500 cases examined, illegal immigrant
offenders were located in 36 states with the highest number of sexual
offenders in California, Texas, Arizona, New Jersey, New York, and Florida.

Schurman-Kauflin
reports that according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records,
sex offenders comprise two percent of illegals apprehended. Using the
statistics by ICE and the conservative estimate of 12 million illegal
immigrants in this country, Schurman-Kauflin estimates there are approximately
240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders currently residing in the United
States. Also using the two-percent figure, this means that 93 sex offenders
and 12 serial sex offenders are illegally crossing the border into the
U.S. every day.

Of the
1,500 sex offenders examined in this study, each sex offender averaged
four victims for a total of approximately 6,000 victims over the 88-month
period. Using these statistics, Schurman-Kauflin estimated that there
were 960,000 sex crimes committed by illegal immigrants between January,
1999 and April, 2006. Particularly disturbing was that 22% of the victims
of sex crimes committed by illegal immigrants had physical or mental handicaps,
and all disabled victims were under the age of 18.

Of the
1,500 cases examined, 35% were child molestations, 24% were rapes, and
41% were sexual homicides and serial murders; 617 cases. Of the child
molestations, 47% of the victims were Hispanic and 36% were Caucasian.
In 82% of the cases, the victims were known to their attackers, and 18%
were molested by strangers. Of those victims molested by strangers, Schurman-Kauflin
reports that "the illegal immigrants typically gained access to the victims
after having worked as a day laborer at or near the victims' homes. Victims
ranged in age from one-year-old to 13-years-old, with the average age
being six." Although nearly 30% of the victims of sex crimes by illegal
immigrants were illegal immigrants themselves, 70% of the victims were
Americans.

In the
358 rape cases investigated, the women were often brutally attacked, and
over 70% of the time the rape victims were beaten by their attackers.
In addition, in .007% of the cases, the victims were gang-raped by two
or more illegal immigrant sex offenders. The study also found that although
serial rapists only accounted for three percent of all illegal immigrant
rapists, serial rapists averaged five victims, and two of serial rapists
examined in this study were confirmed HIV positive. In six percent of
the cases of sexual homicide and serial murder, the bodies of the victims
were mutilated. Caucasians were the most likely victims of sexual homicide
by illegal immigrants. The average age of all victims of sexual homicide
by illegal immigrants was 42, but the victims varied in ages from 16 to
81.

Although
the illegal immigrant sex offenders came from various countries around
the world, the highest number came from Mexico; El Salvador was the country
of origin for the next highest number of illegal immigrant sex offenders.

In another
testament to how poor security remains along the U.S.-Mexico border, the
report found that nearly 63% of the illegal immigrant sex offenders had
been deported at least once before prior to committing a sex crime in
the U.S. The illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes here in the U.S.
typically have committed more crimes than simply entering this country
illegally. "Only two percent of the offenders in this study have no history
of criminal behavior, beyond crossing the border illegally."

The
media want us to believe that illegal immigrants are the victims, that
"undocumented workers" come to the U.S. to do jobs we are not willing
to do, and that they come here illegally to find a better life. But as
this report clearly shows, Americans are the real victims of illegal immigration
and an inept immigration policy.

Since
1999 there have been nearly one million victims of rape, child molestation,
sexual homicides, and rape and molestation of handicapped children by
illegal immigrants here in the U.S. Remember this fact the next time the
media try to tell you about the victims of U.S. immigration policy and
border security.

It's
not the "undocumented workers" who are the victims of our immigration
policy, it is the one million Americans being raped at the hands of illegal
immigrants who are the real victims.

In a
May, 2006 column
from his Congressional website, Iowa Congressmen Steve King, wrote
that every day, eight American children are the victims of a sex crime
by illegal immigrants. But our media go out of their way to insist they
are law-abiding and merely "undocumented workers."
